When Blurry Visionary enters the battlefield, look at the top two cards of your library and put them back-to-back in the same sleeve with either card in front. They become a modal double-faced card for the rest of the game. Then put that card into your hand. (You can play either face of that double-faced card. Make sure to reset it when the game ends.)

And if that’s not complicated enough, similarly, if one of the top two cards of your library is a transforming double-faced card, you put it into the new sleeve with either face of the card facing outward, and it still becomes a modal double-faced card at the end. So, for example, if your top two cards are Brainstorm and the transforming double-faced card Delver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration, you will end up with a modal double-faced card in one of the following permutations: Brainstorm // Delver of Secrets, Brainstorm // Insectile Aberration, Delver of Secrets // Brainstorm, Insectile Aberration // Brainstorm. Note, however, that Insectile Aberration, like most back faces of transforming double-faced cards, has no mana cost, so it is normally not possible to play that card from your hand.

The mana value of a modal double-faced card is based on the characteristics of the face that’s being considered. On the stack or the battlefield, consider whichever face is up. In all other zones, consider only the front face. This is different from how the mana value of a transforming double-faced card is determined.

Playtest cards use a modified version of game symbols, such as and . These modified symbols should be treated as the standard symbols during play.

To determine whether it is legal to play a modal double-faced card, consider only the characteristics of the face you’re playing and ignore the other face’s characteristics.
